-
Process flares
Industrial flares for safe and eco-friendly operations
Fives’ ITAS flares represent key emergency relief equipment for chemical plants. Our 40-meter-high flares burn off unused gases safely and efficiently before they are released into the atmosphere. A wide range of flares are suitable for numerous applications:
-
Dispose of waste gases through smokeless combustion with ITAS elevated flares
-
Reduce maintenance and shut-down costs with ITAS demountable flares, ideal for chemical plants with limited space
-
Dispose of waste gas without radiation effects or visible flames with ITAS enclosed ground flares
-
Manage huge quantities of gas and contain radiation and heating effects within a fenced area or pit with ITAS multipoint ground flares
Burners: crucial elements for the chemical industry
Calcining, carbon regeneration and immersion heating are vital petrochemical process steps. Fives designs efficient, low-NOx burners for each application.
